| dc.description.abstract | This paper examines the recently growing adoption of non-pastoral livelihood strategies and its linkages with changes of land use/land cover among the Karrayu pastoralists in Fentale Woreda, East Showa Zone. Three kebeles were selected from 18 rural kebeles. With a constructive combination of surveys, qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques for the livelihood diversification study and analysis of remote sensing data by GIS framework to study the land use/land cover dynamics. The study showed that, a large portion of the current non-pastoral participation is in farming, natural resource-based activities and waged labors. A host of natural and anthropogenic forces drive this growing pastoralist shift in to cultivation and other non pastoral livelihood system. Pastoralist activity choices reveal that access to natural resource and infrastructure determines how they diversify. This natural resource based shift is bound to cause changes in land use/land cover in the study area. Two sets of remotes sensing data from 1986 and 2000 were analyzed to study the land use/land cover change. The findings underscore that there is an increase of farm land by 64%, which was 1. 9% of the total land mass in 1986 and by 2000 3.4%, where as bare rock cover had increased by 108%. On the other hand bush land had decreased by 68%, where as grazing land show a decrease of 19.5%.
